Dylan Valerius spent a month recuperating in the hospital. After his doctors confirmed he was fit to fly, he left without a moment's delay.
On the day he left the country, Aurora Sterling was allowed to see him off at the airport.
Their high school teacher, Donovan, came along as well.
Donovan had only learned that Dylan was leaving today by chance, when he called to ask about his university plans.
This time, Damien Valerius didn't avoid Dylan Valerius. Instead, he appeared before him alongside Aurora Sterling.
The airport was too crowded, and Damien Valerius hadn't felt comfortable letting Aurora Sterling come alone.
Dylan Valerius was clearly happy to see Aurora and Donovan. They were, after all, among the few people in this city who brought him warmth instead of pressure.
"You've gained weight," Dylan Valerius teased with a smile, looking at Aurora's noticeably fuller figure.
